Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro called for House Speaker Paul Ryan to step down hours after President Donald Trump asked his supporters to watch her show.
Watch @JudgeJeanine on @FoxNews tonight at 9:00 P.M.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 25, 2017
The host of “Justice with Judge Jeanine” laced into Ryan and laid the blame for failing to get the votes needed to pass the repeal and replacement of Obamacare at his feet.
Some have speculated that, despite claiming he supports Ryan and that the House speaker worked “very, very hard,” the president wanted his supporters to tune in to hear the anti-Ryan rant.
Pirro herself said that she and President Trump had not discussed the matter.
“I certainly have not spoken to the president about any of this,” she said. “But I can only imagine that he and his aides took on healthcare because they believed you had his back, and you didn’t! They didn’t even test the waters.”
But not everyone believed that the president didn’t know the anti-Ryan diatribe was coming.
Pirro tells viewers she hadn’t told Trump about her anti-Ryan screed. But someone must’ve. https://t.co/cFefWRF7xA pic.twitter.com/0CcXzCfeSu

@nycjim @FoxNews But she of course did not talk at all with the president about this. Nope, no way! Not even a little bit.

@HeathMayo Interesting Trump promoted Pirro’s show. Did he know she’d go after Ryan? Looks like he wants Ryan’s head on a pike. Disloyalty.

Am I missing the upside for Trump in telling ppl to watch Pirro before she slammed Ryan? Why wouldn’t he just tweet about it in the morning?

@owenrumney Oh, I’m sure it was great for Pirro. Just seems much less useful to Trump if he obviously knew what she was going to say
